Deptford BOE approves 2026–27 calendar, field trips and junior-senior prom
Summary
The Board approved the 2026–27 district calendar, multiple field trips and senior-class events — including the junior/senior prom on May 21, 2026 at Lucien's Manor — and authorized the high school to host Spartan track meets, all by unanimous vote.
The Deptford Township Board of Education on Feb. 10 approved student-related items including the 2026–27 district calendar, multiple field trips, senior-class activities and spring athletics events.
On the superintendent's recommendation, the board approved Deptford High School to host the Annual Spartan Track & Field Relay on April 4 and Spartan Sprint Night on May 11; it also approved multiple field trips and senior-class events including a Senior Picnic, Senior Sunset and Project Graduation launch activities. The junior/senior prom was approved for Thursday, May 21, 2026 at Lucien's Manor in Berlin, N.J., scheduled from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The motion was moved by Dan McCurdy and seconded by Milton Corsey; the vote was recorded as 9-0.
Why it matters: these approvals authorize student activities that require district coordination for venues, transportation and funding. The minutes note that event costs for some activities will be paid from event proceeds, and other in-district events have minimal district cost.
The board also approved district assemblies (for example, The Illusion Maker at Lake Tract Elementary on March 18) and the 2026-2027 district calendar. Relevant staff and volunteer assignments, and transportation logistics tied to field trips, will proceed under district policies.
